The lonely road to Baker

Baker is the jumping off point for Great Basin National Park so we zoomed that way after our Bryce Canyon adventures. This was my first RoadTrippers fail but wasn't a big deal. The RoadTrippers app thought it was a 7 hour drive from Bryce Canton to Baker so I hoofed it through the main sights there as quickly as I could so I didn't get in too late. Turns out that Google disagreed and it was only a 3.5 hour drive. Having an early day after yesterday's very long one sounded pretty good though! Plus I'm staying at a casino/motel so that sounded fun (this was also the first hotel fail but it'll be fine... it's only 1 night).

The drive here was pretty awesome...through mountain passes and deserts...and through a big hole in the rock at one point! I had the road to myself for almost all of the journey aside from a road visit from some bovine friends.Read more
